Bilderberg 2014

Let's assume, for argument's sake, that Bilderberg is - as its member state - a mere 'private talk shop' for influential people to get together and speak off the record in an open and honest way. With this (spurious) assumption, this podcast looks in more detail at the steering committee members and invited guests to Bilderberg's 2014 meeting this past weekend in Denmark. Examining the members and guests to Bilderberg provides a more realistic context in which to criticize the basic assumption of the conference as an innocent "private talk shop", since those who attend wield incredible influence, and represent oligarchic, imperialistic, dynastic and plutocratic interests. A "talk shop" between such interests is always cause for concern, regardless of whether you define it as "private" or "secret." Semantics aside, there is reason to be concerned when over 100 of the world's most influential meet behind closed doors.

Peter Lance, an author and former investigative reporter for ABC’s 20/20, joins us to discuss the unholy alliance’ of FBI and mob, and the FBI’s advance warning of a plot to bring down a commercial airliner on American soil just weeks before the 1996 TWA 800 crash. He presents us with the chronology, investigative results and evidence obtained by him, including previously confidential government documents, showing that the FBI knew of Osama bin Laden’s ‘chief bomb maker’s’ plan to bring down a plane in 1996, and that Ramzi Yousef planned to derail his own terror trial with the bombing.
